Thank you to all of you who played along with my sketch this week; it's so much fun to design a sketch and then see all the different ways you come up with to use it.

Once again, the competition was fierce! I chose Claire's fun and fabulous Christmas card with an adorable little elf swinging from a glittery ornament. Once I realized that the background piece is NOT DSP, but an embossed stamped pattern and hand colored, not to mention all the other fine details of this sweet card, I knew I found my pick for Queen. Congratulations, Claire! You are the Queen of Clean!

I so enjoyed seeing all of your creative takes on the sketch that I created. You did amazing things with it that I would never have envisioned. That made it very hard to pick my queen - but I chose this charming snowman by Valentyna. I love the background with its big neutral chevrons and the lovely blue. There are hints of sparkles and flourishes throughout that, along with the lacy doilies, add to the sweet look of this card. Congratulations, Valentyna! You are the Queen of Clean!

Wow it has been an amazing week for Freshly Made Sketches! One of our sketches - by DT member Narelle Farrugia - was featured in issue 127 of Simply Cards & papercraftand you all filled our gallery with over 100 wonderful designs! I loved visiting your sites! This card by Deanne @ Three Trees is original, fresh and fun - not your typical Christmas card! I love her unique take on the sketch! The sentiment on the vellum overlay is beautiful and the bright wavy background is an unexpected delight! The stitching and sequins cleverly complete the elements of the sketch. Congratulations, Deanne, you are the Queen of Clean this week!
